LONDON, Aug. 4.-William Henry
Smiths denial in the house of commons
tliS evening that the government had
any knowledge whatever of Mgr. Per-
sico's mission from Rome to Ireland
ELECTED roar of deriSive laughter from
the Irish members, whose recollection
of the mission of Sir George ErringtOn
to Rome is still fresh in their minds and
the impression conveyed by the lam
guage and manner of the first lord of
the treasury was suggestive of great
future for that statesman as proficient
in the art of diplomatic Justification.
The question of the conspicuous and
over-Zealous ransacking of the baggage
of Patrick A. Collins at Belfast and his
previous and subsequent espionage by
detectives furnished the Parnellite mem-
berS with further incentive to
HILARIOUS CONDUCT
through the reply of the Irish under
secretary, Col. King-HarmOn, to the i'll
terrogation of Patrick O'Brien, the
secretary refuting the imputation that
either Mr.. Collins person or his effects
had been subjected to needless scrutiny.
No knowledge, in fact. had come to the
government that Mr.. Collins had been
watched by detectives, or that his lug
gage had been more closely examined
than that of any other person arriving
in Ireland. and the accusation that the
customs officials had exceeded their du-
ties was held by the under secretary to
be altogether unWarranted. n third
cause of uproar in the Parnellite ranks,
this time burst of enthusiastic cheer
ing which was heartily participated i'll
by GladStOnianS, was the appearance
and seating of George o. Trevelyan,
the newly-elected member for the
Bridgeton division of Glasgow. Cheer
upon cheer arose as the repentant
Unionist took his seat as a leading
member of the home rule party. and the
ovation must have been as gratifying to
Mr.. Treyelyan as that gentleman's re-
turn to the allied forces of Mr.. Glad
stone and Mr.. Parnell.
THE SUCCESS
of the mimic naval attack on British
ports will be seized upon by the govern
III mt to affect the criticisms of Lord
Randolph Churchill, whose contention
that the defenses Of the ports of the
kingdom are entirely inadequate to the
maintenance of public safety in time of
war nave created profound SENSATION
and consequent feeling Of insecurity
among persons holding more OF less
peSsimiStic views.
The Globe announces this afternoon
that Mr.. Gladstone will speak in Albert
hall on Tuesday on the Welch church
question, and makes sarcastic allusionS
to the ex-premier's recent tour of Wales,
and notably the action of Cardiff Of
ficials anent his reception in that town.
THE LATE RUSSIAN EDITOR,
NJ. Katkoff, would, no doubt, be sur
prised could he observe the diversity of
political and religious views held by
persons who most c0nSpicuOuSly mourn
his death. The Jews of st. Petersburg,
the Fenians of Paris and the members
OF the Patriotic League Of France attest
the sincerity of their sorrow at his de-
mise by passingresolutions of sympathy
and coincidence. and formulating declar-
ationS of their intention to send repre-
SentativeS to his funeral, and probably
a greater variety of political opinion
and religious faith will be perSOnitied in
the gathering around his grave than has
been brought together upon any similar
occasion in recent years in any part of
Europe.
